Post #23 by bacon on the Retirement Investing board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

There was an opensource program called "preferred search" which I used to use....

Yeah, I used to use that program, too, and it is, I think, still available in SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/ ). The author has said he got tired of Yahoo's constantly altering how to download its stock data. The code itself, being opensource, may well be available on SourceForge for anyone to work with.

It would be good enough for me, at least in the near- and mid-term, if the parts of the code that queried Yahoo's [pricing] data were simply bypassed/eliminated. I can look up my own pricing data once I've culled the preferred stock universe enough to suit me.
